The issue of ageing plant, leading to an increased risk of loss of containment and other failures due to plant and equipment deterioration, has been shown to be an important factor in incidents and accidents. Recent research shows that 50% of European major hazard ‘loss of containment’ events arising from technical plant failures were primarily due to ageing plant mechanisms such as erosion, corrosion and fatigue. The Health and Safety executive have an ageing plant programme to reduce risks in the UK process industries. This lecture will report on the current status and the issues found.
